Resideo is a 2019 Top Ten winner in our large company group. This is their first time in the Top Ten and they are to be commended for doing so well. That said, it is apparent that they still have a ways to go to catch up to some of the more elite companies, such as Red Hat. This is a very good start, however and a great achievement for them. We look forward to seeing how they continue to improve their site next year. Learn how the Resideo team has developed its most recent web support capabilities and been recognized by the ASP for their web support efforts.

RedHat is a 2019 Top Ten winner in the large-sized company group. This was their ninth win in a row. They are obviously doing many things right. RedHat’s many wins highlight their continuing site improvement efforts. They appear to understand user expectations for support continue to change and they must continue their efforts to improve all aspects of their self-service site and its use, such as through Google. This company does not rest on their laurels, but works hard to continue to evolve their site. Learn how the Red Hat team has developed its most recent web support capabilities and been recognized nine times by the ASP for their web support efforts.

Quest is a 2019 Top Ten winner in the medium-sized company group.

This year was our 21st competition of support websites and based on the learning from all these past years, we made significant changes to our scoring model. With the 2019 Top Ten Report soon to be published, we’re excited to announce some changes and improvements to the report itself and ASP as a whole which will help deliver ever more value to our members.

At Cisco we've entered ASP's "Top Ten" for years for both the reality check and the visability

The Association of Support Professionals Top 10 Support Sites Award is immensely valuable for Jive. Not only does it provide recognition for our online support solution, it also gives reliable insight and feed back from industry experts that we implement to be even better the following year.

Kevin Williams, Jive Software

The Association of Support Professionals Top 10 Support Web Sites was a great process for our team to work through. Along with being a great opportunity to showcase the work of the many teams that contribute to our online support experience, the submission process itself helped in along some very well defined dimensions, where we stood among our peers. The breakdown of feedback across those dimensions then helped us identify and prioritize improvements that would most benefit our customers. I highly recommend the submission process as a means to help your top opportunities and feed your overall roadmap.
